Yo Murph!

After living in Baltimore for 3.5 years and Ireland for 4 months and now in North Jersey for just over a month - I have come to realize something...

Action News is the best news programming.  Not only are all of the newscasters enjoyable to watch and bring life to the news stories of both Philadelphia and the United States at large, but their technology and presentation of the news is far superior than any other I have seen (in my opinion of course!). 

Fun fact: I enjoy watching TV while I am getting ready for work in the morning. 

While working in Philadelphia, I watched Action News everyday.  Matt O'Donnell, Tamala Edwards, David Murphy (Yo Murph!), and Karen Rogers of the morning team get along very well and they help to start most days off with a laugh.  The "Big Board" that they use is very high tech and makes for more interactive story-telling - whether they are reporting on the weather or any "hot topic" of the day.  

Now I watch Good Morning America since I leave later to go to work than I did back home.  I have always liked ABC over CBS or NBC and my Mom always watches GMA so I guess it is what I am used to.  At the end of each half hour, it breaks to the local news team for an update on local news, traffic and weather. 

Don't get me wrong - it's not that I hate watching the local news here - I'm just saying that it's just not the same.  I don't really know the surrounding area so I can't picture where they are talking about most of the time and I just don't feel like I know the news team as people - as I feel I do with the Action News team that I grew up with.  That might be silly to say but it's true...

Should I start clicking my ruby red shoes together yet?

There's no place like home.
